The clerk told him the price and that the signature was free. The Scotchman in return replied: "You may not know it, but my Indian name is will-be-home Friday." * * JACK YOUNG says he has a friend who would shoot you in the back and then turn around have you arrested for carrying concealed weapons. * * GUS PETERSON says you can tell a flapper as much today as you could her mother, but she won't believe half of it.
